Overview
- Miral and Warner Bros. Discovery announced on Monday that construction has begun on three new Harry Potter lands — Diagon Alley, Hogwarts and the Forbidden Forest — at Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi with work targeted for completion in 2029.
- The expansion will add about 63,000 square metres of themed space inside the park and is part of a wider build that will increase Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi’s size by more than 50 percent.
- Officials say the lands will be entirely indoors, a design choice meant to allow year‑round climate control and deeper immersion compared with outdoor parks.
- Miral and Warner Bros. Discovery confirmed the project will feature world‑exclusive Harry Potter rides and bespoke interactive elements, though specific attraction names and ride mechanics have not been released.
- The development packages the first permanent Forbidden Forest as its own land and forms a central piece of Yas Island’s long‑term tourism strategy to attract repeat international visitors and support Abu Dhabi’s economic diversification.
